A Love Trap

Ashley felt exhausted after dinner. She didn't like most of the food that was served except for the soup.

Thus Ashley had a lot of serving of the soup which made her feel full right away.

When she put her bowl down, she let out a burp.

When Andrew looked at her, Ashley immediately flushed. She felt so embarrassed that she wanted to hide herself.

Much to Ashley's relief, Andrew just smiled at her and looked away.

She gazed back at Andrew whose dazzling smile was mesmerizing.

There were lots of camellias outside the villa. After dinner, Ashley liked to walk around to help digest the food she had just eaten.

She intended to go on her daily walk that day too.

The sun hadn't set yet but the weather wasn't hot. When Ashley and Andrew stepped out of the villa, the breeze that met them made them feel refreshed and relaxed.

Ashley walked over to the white camellias—taking the scene around her, all in. Never had she felt so relaxed.

Andrew followed Ashley's gaze and asked, "Do you like these flowers?"

Even though this was his villa, he wasn't the one who had designed his garden. No wonder Ashley felt so distant and unfamiliar with the place when she first came here.

'Maybe it was Johnny who had the flowers planted, ' she thought to herself.

She chuckled at the thought of Johnny.

'Johnny's such a great assistant. He is quite helpful. He handles everything from work to Andrew's personal life, ' she thought inwardly.

When she saw the look on Andrew's face, she spoke, "Yes, I like them very much."
